Scripted in ancient India Kamasutra is regarded as a doctrine of love Can we still say that Kamasutra has contemporaneity in it ?

In the literature of all countries a certain number of works are there treating the subject, love. Everywhere the subject is dealt differently, and from various points of view. Kamasutra is no exception. Eroticism is seen as an important, integrated elements of the human existence - the same as eating - and apart from serving the sensual pleasures , also help mankind to propagate , just as eating keeps the body alive. The sensual pleasures of erotics not only serve to increase the joy of life and maintain psychological balance, but aid the further development of the mental-spiritual spheres. The senses are perceived as being a refinement of the physical on a higher plane of consciousness whereby, in conclusion, marks the doctrine of love as very contemporary even in modern India

This is an ancient text of thousands of year back, so it may be difficult for people living in the 21st century to relate to some of its content. Some of the descriptions in the Kama Sutra can be read as somewhat ridiculous. But though some of these suggestions may seem ridiculous, they were designed for one purpose, to bring harmony in marital life .. i guess we cant discard Kamasutra as just an old tale of aphrodisiac elements.. on the contrary it is a text teaching us the doctrines of love.. I think it is still contemporary

Of course, yes, it is still contemporary. I believe more people now are trying to lay their hands on a copy of Kamasutra. It has become relevant to their life in this challenging world. Days of traditional simple sex is gone. Now people are finding ways and means to have sensual pleasures through erotic sex. Finding new ways to satisfy them is the order of the day now.
